QC Featured in Deeply Problematic Article

(1/4) > >>

bethcarielle:
The feminist blog Deeply Problematic (http://www.deeplyproblematic.com/) is hosting a series of articles about the female characters of QC.

It's a good read and honest (positive!) critique of the comic.

Today's posting: http://www.deeplyproblematic.com/2010/08/women-in-questionable-content-women-run.html

There is also a previous article about the normalization of disability and Faye and Hanner's role in that.  http://www.deeplyproblematic.com/2010/06/disability-and-comics-how-questionable_08.html

Thank you, Jeph, for creating realistic female characters!

Surgoshan:
I'm a chemist and I spent some time wondering about "cis".  "What's 'cis'?  I get 'trans' and all...".  Then I got it.  It wasn't a strange code.  It was exactly what it meant... the opposite of trans is cis!  The chem geek in me asploded for joy.


Also.  YAY JEPH!

Dliessmgg:
When I read cis I was thinking German for c# and cos+i*sin. Cue confusion.

Carl-E:
Yeah, I had to wikipedia it.  There's a gender role disambiguation, or I'd never have figured it out.  I sure wouldn't have though to look in chemistry! 

All I could think of is Computer and Information Sciences, which means I've been in education for way too long! 

Jace:
My favorite QC female is the one with psychological issues.
